Abstract
Martian rocks contain crucial information about the genesis of Mars and the historical evolution of Martian climate change. Consequently, extracting and examining Martian rocks are pivotal in advancing our comprehensive understanding of the red planet. However, the current core drill string is prone to wear and tear, and the samples are susceptible to thermal denaturation. To address these challenges, we introduce two novel types of drill bits, the conical straight junk slot and the conical spiral junk slot, both employing impregnated diamond as the primary material. Comparative experiments were meticulously conducted to evaluate the influence of different junk configurations on drilling parameters, including speed, abrasion resistance, drilling force loading, and sample temperature rise. The findings unequivocally demonstrate the superior performance of the spiral junk slot. Furthermore, simulations were performed to examine the drilling process on basalt using a fixed configuration drill bit, validating the occurrence of the sample temperature rise. The research presented in this paper offers valuable programmatic references and essential data support for future Martian rock coring drilling missions.
